My ideal first apartment has white walls and wood floors. In other words, it's a blank canvas for whatever colors, patterns, and textures I decide to bring in. As we've discussed, the easiest way to break up those white walls is by adding colorful art. But in the bedroom, my favorite way to break up a big blank expanse is to add a beautiful headboard.

Headboards create a chic focal point and add instant elegance to an otherwise generic space. I love the prices and the selection at More Headboards, especially from the brand Skyline Furniture (which I know many design bloggers love!).
I picture this tufted khaki headboard ($345) paired with pale blue linens in a very elegant boudoir.
You know my all-time favorite color combination is navy blue with hot pink. Why not pair this navy headboard ($235) with crisp white bedding and a hot pink throw?
If it's a gender neutral look you're after, this black nailhead trim headboard ($270) is perfect! The nailhead trim is more masculine, the curvy shape is more feminine, and the black hue appeases everybody!

My three favorites are priced as headboards for full size beds but available in any size your apartment will fit! What's your favorite headboard look?

Could not agree more! Love a good headboard and all three of your pairings sound perfect!
I would give my left leg for that yellow one- it's heaven in a headboard.
agree! I would love one too, maybe in my next apartment!
I LOVE THAT NAVY HEADBOARD! I'm loving the apartment essentials! Some of my favorite posts!

Can't go wrong with a tufted upholstered headboard! Although the boy likes leather ones, which when done right, can strike a good compromise hey, pick your battles, right? As long as he let's me pick linens and pillows...)
Oh yes, without a doubt the first is my favorite—go bold, lovely—why not? Pair it with pretty linens and changing throws or pillows, season to season. What a glamorous look!
Decorating your new apartment will be so much fun—I enjoy knowing what you're thinking of adding/working on—keep us updated :)

p.s OR, as an alternative, slipcover a simple headboard in different fabrics—more options :)
I completely agree...with a boring headboard, there's no focus in the room! I absolutely adore the yellow in the first picture - that would really make a statement! Loving this apartment essentials series!
We currently just have a dark wood simple headboard, but these statement headboards are soo lovely. I'd really love to have one on our next bed!
These are so very pretty.. I actually haven't had a headboard since my childhood bed, but these choices certainly make me want to jump back on getting one!
adore all of your inspiration! I love a tufted headboard myself

Sigh, I guess my next apartment purchase should be a headboard too. I also love ones from Nate Berkus HSN and Urban Outfitters. I like the one you picked with the studs.
I totaly agree! Headboards are the statement piece of the room.

Liking the edge and softness of the last one. I'd to pair it with an ethnic bedspread, but that's just me.
I still have wild fantasies of upholstering my own though...
Great Idea with Colorful headboard. I love the yellow one!

I adore all of these headboards! Mine is a Pottery Barn seagrass in a Havana Dark Weave. I adore it. I've had it for years and it never gets old. Good luck!
Tres chic! Love these bedrooms. Lots of creative touches...
